Avraham Infeld - Hillel

dear friends,
thank you for joining us tonight as we pay tribute to our beloved friend, teacher and leader
avraham infeld.
during his four years as interim president and president of hillel, avraham significantly
increased hillel’s commitment to israel, enlarged our presence in the former Soviet union,
and made tzedek, social justice, a cornerstone of our work.
But avraham’s impact on our lives cannot be measured by those four years alone. as a
community leader and lecturer avraham has shared his passion for israel, the Jewish people
and social justice with generations of students of all ages. he has inspired us to work for the
“significant survival of the Jewish people.” he has taught us how to be “distinctively Jewish
and universally human.” today, avraham’s students are leaders and teachers themselves.
they are spreading his message around the globe — but never with the eloquence of the
master himself.
we are grateful that avraham continues to draw from his endless reserves of wisdom and
energy to influence our lives and to shape a brighter Jewish future.
may he go mechayil lechayil, from strength to strength, for many years to come.
